Hi List, I was using Samba 2.0.7, when I noticed a strange thing: when mounting samba shares on windows machines, if the window machine crashes while I am surfing the mounted FS my linux machine crashes too, completely. So I updated it to Samba 2.2.1a. I havent checked if this behavior is changed yet (I had no time), but I am trying to install a big software package (300Mb) via network (I got a Linux Samba PDC). After a while the whole network freezes! (and the windows machine freezes too, or course). No ip packed is any more sent on the network after that. I got to run "ifconfig eth0 down - ifconfig eth0 up" to make it work again. This happens all the time. My network is 10mbit, and during the process of installation gets VERY overloaded (lots of collisions). Unfortunately I have not enough money to upgrade. However nothing like this happens even if the network is overloaded. I am using Suse Kernel 2.4.7, if it is important. Praise
